Ever since I started running Paul Krugman’s column more than two years ago in the Sunday business section, it’s been a lightning rod.

Readers have cancelled subscriptions and thundered for a counterbalance to the New York Times columnist and Nobel winning economist.

Why do I bring this up?

Because this week while watching the markets yoyo I flashed back to a Krugman column from September 2010. It said the U.S. is repeating the exact mistakes we made in 1937 when we hyperventilated about the deficit instead of lasering in on short-term job creation and thus fell back into recession.
